i always prefer the creapure creatine. the only problem is that i forgot to check if this was a micronized version, and this is not. it doesn't dissolve in liquids very easily, but if you chase it with a glass of water, it goes down much easier. i find micronized versions dissolve better and digest easier. sometimes creatine will sit heavily on my stomach. the jarrow creatine is a good value giving you 6 grams a tablespoon, while most others are just 5. a good buy
